Earlier today I posted that Bob Adams, OSA Int, was reported in a Jan 08 issue of the New Yorker magazine that the RFP was a volunteer program :omg:

Voluntary, huh? And who in their right mind would sign up for the rules you wrote in your post? I know, the ones that are convinced - it's the greatest good, for the greatest number. Because that truly is all that matters.

To leave you must sign you are a criminal, and you will be ostracized.
Either way, you are not free.

It is voluntary. I was offered the choice of doing the RPF or leaving the SO. I first chose to leave, then a few weeks later changed my mind. I signed docs saying I was going to the RPF of my own free will. It is voluntary in that it is one of the choices one can take.

That's not how it goes down in all cases.

Sometimes you are "Mirandized" and sometimes you aren't.

You always have to sign the docs, but you don't always get the chat that you can take the choice to leave the SO.

Thanks, Paul. That it is voluntary is something I didn't know.

Yeah. But now that I think about it, it is kind of a meaningless point, as one can choose to leave the SO at any point anyway, without being offered the choice.

When I was first assigned to RPF on the ship I didn't much care about it. It was just an experience like any other experience on the ship.

When I was in RPF in 1982 at Fort Harrison then it did bother me that I couldn't take a leave of absence to be with my father in India who was suffering from cancer. I then chose to route out. Then I was given a Fitness Board telling me that I was not suited for Sea Org after 12 years in it.

Definitely their loss, Vinay. When I was spinning like a top at Flag and no one seemed to care, you made sure I got the definition of "confront". :yes: I haven't forgotten. I has served me well. Thank you!

That is what I figured.

Well, thank you, Good twin. I have sent you a PM.

Same applies to joining staff. You volunteer. But then there's the contract. Which means you just can't leave, even though you volunteered. But, according to the Church, you are free to go. However, there's the Leaving Staff Routing Form. And the purpose of that is to put stops in your way of just leaving. But still you're free to go. But if you go on your terms, and not the Church's, then you'll get declared. But you're still free to leave, etc etc.

:grouch:

That's the other thing. If you are assigned to the RPF and say you want to leave, you aren't allowed to leave right away. You have the whole routing form/sec check thing to do. Which could take months and months depending on who you are and where you are. If you are someone who would be considered a "security risk" it will not be made easy for you to get out.

And in that situation you are not free to leave. You are put under watch.

Free to leave ... hmmm .. took me only 6 months.

My point exactly. Sorry, there's no smiley for sarcasm. Their words - you're free to leave. Reality - you get declared. And I have no reality on SO, only Class V.

Maybe you need to clear the word voluntary.

If I told you I was going to bump you off and it could be by gunshot or gas and you picked the bullet then I could say you died voluntarily of a gunshot wound?

This is exactly what they do. Tell people they will get excommunicated from their friends or family OR declared suppressive or you will be tossed out on the street with the 40 cents you have in your pocket and no home and given a huge bill (extortion) to come back here or you can go into slave labor so the sadists can can have a win.

You pick the last and feel you volunteered?

T.O.

Yep, you could say there is a bit of a mispresentation of the situation given before your "free" choice. Pick one, which would you rather do:

A) Lose all hope of spiritual improvement for all eternity, die and die again, time after time, and every life suffering ever worse in pain and agony, in the darkness, alone and blind, for all eternity, without friends, and with the weight of guilt for the fate of the planet forever on your conscience, or

B) Get a chance to redeem yourself, extrovert and improve your confront of MEST, learn to audit and help another and best of all, get rid of all your overts on the 8 dynamics, so as to make you again part of the elite corps of OTs in this or any other universe.

That's more like how you see the "choice" at that point.

It isn't like you're ever given a chance to find out what options the choice really is between.

:goodposting: I fully agree LBV, not the greatest choices and especially if there was an injustice or wrong assignment to begin with.

Getting the word out about the RPF

Wasn't sure whether to start a new thread or add to this. Weiber over on OCMB started this thread and i fully agree with him on making sure their is more public awareness of the plight of the RPFers.

http://ocmb.xenu.net/ocmb/viewtopic.php?t=27932

Some people say they went in voluntarily, maybe so, but under the influence of Hubbard think.No matter which way you want to look at it, the RFP is a violation of basic Human Rights and as such needs public awareness and government scrutiny.

Whilst i think the thread on Spy vs Sci is a fantastic idea, i think the RPF is destroying people behind closed doors.Red Pill suggests dressing up as RPFers and using paper chains to give the appearance of convicts/RPFers.I think this is a brilliant idea.What do others think?
